My Week

This weekend I was able to turn off the air conditioner.  Only for two days though.  Summer is back in full swing. Here's Tuesday's photo at the Lincoln Tomb prior to the flag lowering ceremony.

Update on the new dog:
Regarding potty training: I think it was concept of a matter of "if not in the house, then where?" so i put her poo in the yard.   Thursday, while at yoga, I didn't kennel her since she had a long early walk and I would only be gone an hour. She was out in yard when I returned. 💩 was at least in sun room. Now to watch for consistency.

I was fortunate to get her enrolled in obedience class on Monday night for 8 weeks.  I'll have a busy time ahead of me.

I'm good at "present arms" and "dismiss"

Let me tell you, it was hot.
I took a little nap and then went to the Elijah Iles House for the Clara Irwin's Strawberry Party.  I helped serve strawberry shortcake.

Friday was busy.  Took Amber to get her spay appointment early. Then I went to Ron Otken's funeral at Camp Butler.  I came  for a quick walk with Sophie and change to go to the Old State Capitol for History Comes Alive with Sharon.

I picked up Amber afterward and somewhere out there is an adoption photo in period dress.
Saturday I helped out at the Lincoln Tomb to cover the lunch hour and break.  Then went to a program at the Military Museum.

Sunday I went to our CWV Memorial Mass at Christ The King parish.  Afterward we had breakfast at Amber Jacks.
